Don't let Team Farm fool you. Moses Lake is a mix of Mount St Helens ash and sand. Even Team Farm Jr. would have looked like father time if he was in my roost when I was towing that GTR to the staging area.
It's up to Team Farm to post more pictures (all these were courtesy of Ms. Team Farm).

The carnage report:
Day 1 - At the beginning of the day, SnowAnn's Joyner lost shifting into forward gears. With the radiator in the way, we didn't expect them to follow us using their mirrors in reverse. Unfortunately a tranny tear down will have take place to figure out what went wrong. PGHruby's Yerf lost primary power through the stock fuse holder at the end of the day. Shorting across the solenoid allowed it to start and get back to the staging area. The contacts and glass fuse could not handle the jostling and current I demanded. Team Farm provided me with a mini plug fuse holder and I was able to use my spare fuses to make a permanent fix for Day 2.
Day 2 - Team Farm's GTR lost a fender when a hill jumped in the way. Fortunately Team Farm Jr. was not driving at the time so blame was quickly silenced. At the end of the day we stopped at SnowAnn's camp to take the kids out for ride and did not get more than a mile before the GTR ignition started cutting out. We messed with wiring, but never found what caused the cut out. After stalling out for the third time, I towed it back to the trailer. Then it fired back up so Team Farm was able to load it without us having to push. He needs to troubleshoot this further at home.
Day 3 - No mechanical break downs, but the Joyner kept burying the rear end to the frame with those 23" paddles. The last valley that swallowed the Joyner was more than the winch could pull so I was pushing while a local was winching. If you have a 650ss, carry a snatch block - I didn't bring mine with me.

I've had several of those "never forget moments" with my son since we started buggying. And I plan on having a lot more!

Those "C'Mon Dad" days don't come as often as we'd all like, but then again if they were more often maybe we wouldn't appreciate them when they do come around...
The buggies don't even have to be running for us to have those days.
